Beanz meanz.... Cantley!

Despite a very painful bout of Plantar Fasciitis (Ouch!) I decided to take a walk around the 'loop' at Cantley. Most noticeable feature is the delightful smell of beetroot and toffee apples from the sugar factory - I suppose the novelty would soon wear off if you lived nearby!
There were well over 60 Egyptian Geese on the marshes, but no sign of the recent Ruddy Shelduck: they did, however, attract a patrolling Peregrine.
As I reached the footpath that cuts across to School Road, I noticed a mixed flock of Bean Gese and Pinkfeet) for once they allowed a reasonably close approach (around 200 metres) There were probably around 30 Beans, which were soon joined by 1000+ Pinkfeet.
The walk back was enlivened by Golden Plovers and Lapwings, and a perky little Kestrel.
